Turkey's top diplomat blasted a Swedish ruling which can block the extradition of a journalist wanted by Ankara as “very unfavorable” Tuesday ahead of his Swedish counterpart’s visit to Turkey.

Ankara made a series of demands in return for supporting the enlargement, including the extradition of dozens of people over their ties to groups that Ankara considers terrorist organizations.
